This is not a better way. I'm subscribed to some mailing
lists. Messages go to separate groups and expiry-wait there is one
week and messages are just removed. For my private mail I have
separate group and special expiry-target. expiry-wait is somewhat
longer. 

The problem comes when I get some junk in my private mail
group. There's no nice way to get rid of it (I don't want it to saved
in archives). I have to either delete it with 'B DEL', which I don't
like, or move it to 'junk' group where it will be gone quite soon :-)

So, are there any suggestions in this situation?

P.S. 'd' shouldn't be used to move articles to trash folder. I have 'A
d' binding for this.
